SHARP LC-32D44 SERVICE MODE AND FACTORY RESET
SHARP LC-32D44
SERVICE MODE AND FACTORY RESET
HOW TO ENTER TO SERVICE MODE
1) Before entering the adjustment process mode, the AV position RESET in the video adjustment menu.
2) While holding down the “VOL (–)” and “INPUT” keys at a time, plug in the AC cord of the main unit to turn on the power.
The letter “<K>” appears on the screen.
3) Next, hold down the “VOL (–)” and “CH ( V )” keys at a time.
(The “VOL (–)” and “CH ( V )” keys should be pressed and held until the display appears.)
Multiple lines of blue characters appearing on the display indicate that the unit is now in the adjustment process mode.
When you fail to enter the adjustment process mode (the display is the same as normal startup), retry the procedure.
4) To exit the adjustment process mode after the adjustment is done, unplug the AC cord from the outlet to make a forced shutdown. (When the power was turned off with the remote controller, once unplug the AC cord and plug it again. In this case, wait 10 seconds or so before plugging.)
CAUTION: Use due care in handling the information described here lest your users should know how to enter the adjustment process mode. If the settings are tampered in this mode, unrecoverable system damage may result.

How to adjust the White balance of the TV
Automatic adjustment execution
[Adjustment procedure]
1) Using the remote controller, transmit the “monitor adjustment process” code.
2) Set the 6th point to the specified gradation level. With the strongest color being fixed, turn down the R, G and B settings to their reference levels.
3) Set the 5th point to the specified gradation level. Correct the G setting (800 x 6thpoint G setting / 928) (rounded off), and make the R and B settings to their reference levels.
4) Set the 4th point to the specified gradation level. Correct the G setting (680 x 6thpoint G setting / 928) (rounded off), and make the R and B settings to their reference levels.
5) Set the 3rd point to the specified gradation level. Correct the G setting (480 x 6thpoint G setting / 928) (rounded off), and make the R and B settings to their reference levels.
6) Set the 2nd point to the specified gradation level. Correct the G setting (232 x 6thpoint G setting / 928) (rounded off), and make the R and B settings to their reference levels.
7) Set the 1st point to the specified gradation level. Correct the G setting (184 x 6thpoint G setting / 928) (rounded off), and make the R and B settings to their reference levels.
8) With the MSET0003 command, write the adjustment values and turn off the AC power.
* Initial R, G and B settings at point 6: Gradation level set at 928
* Initial R, G and B settings at points 1 thru 5: Corrected G setting at each point
(This is because the adjustment is made to achieve the same remainder of RGB setting / 4 at each point.)

How to do factory reset
After making the factory settings, pull off the AC cord.
NOTE: Do not turn on the power once the factory settings have been made. Otherwise the factory settings must be made again.

How to upgrade Monitor microprocessor software
version
Create the USB memory for monitor microprocessor software version upgrade in the same manner as explained in the “Main software version upgrade”.
Copy the file D44UVAxxx.USB and D44UMxxx.BIN (named temporarily) for monitor microprocessor software version upgrade to the USB memory.

How to upgrade the software
1. Unplug the AC cord.
2. Insert the USB memory for version upgrade (prepared as above) into the service socket located Right side from center at terminals, above HDMI4 terminal in the rear of the unit.
3. Plug in the AC cord with power button pressed down.
4. After 5 seconds, unpress the power button.
CAUTION: • The moment this operation is done, the upgrading of the monitor microprocessor software starts. While the upgrade is ongoing, never power off the unit. Otherwise the upgrade will fail and the system may be serious damaged beyond recovery (inability to start).
• After the monitor microprocessor software is upgraded, also perform the 'Industry Init'.
5. After the unit startup, the upgrade starts. The power led will blink continuously. Also, an upgrade screen will be shown during a minor upgrade.
